The Potential For Growth Brings Exciting Future...

UPDATE: Please continue to pray for Cy Stafford and his family. News this week was discouraging as doctors did not give Cy much hope of surviving the day. At this point, Cy continues to fight for his life and the initial diagnosis of a perforated colon was a misdiagnosis. Treatment for Cy has started again. We give thanks and ask for your continued prayers for Cy and their family to endure the days ahead.

Students in Denver approach their midterm exams over the week ahead. This time is followed by a period of research where students focus on assignments for the six courses of the quarter. The past week was encouraging as chapel was filled with opportunities for students to put into practice their preaching skills. Listening to the improvement of these men as they continue to prepare themselves for preaching the gospel is an exciting part of the program in Denver.

The extension locations continue to report on the progress of students preparing themselves in the same way. Weekend evangelism and preaching with various congregations also provides encouragement and excitement for everyone reading about their efforts. Reports below continue to show the hand of God working through the lives of these men.

The months ahead will see new schools in several locations. The new school in Malawi will begin classes in February. In order to meet requirements for the government and have everything ready, the new school in Fiji will open its doors in May. The new school in Zimbabwe will begin training men to preach sometime this spring, and the potential in other locations grows. It is an exciting time to see the growth of the program.

Final Thoughts Thank you for your continued encouragement and support in the work of training preachers. Your involvement in this program is the backbone of what is accomplished. The souls affected by the preaching of the gospel can only be numbered in heaven. There will be souls we may never meet this side of heaven that will be thankful for the effort put forth to train men to preach the gospel. Thank you for making it possible.
